Historical marker placed at Amherst Shupe Homestead
A new historical marker on Cooper Foster Park Road honors the Jacob Shupe Homestead as Amherst’s oldest frame residence. Matt Nahorn leads research and restoration with the New Indian Ridge Museum, noting the 1812 to 1814 original structure, its conservation easement, and ties to early Lorain County sawmills.
